In Comparison

I promised I'd post some of the older pictures we got when we were back in Nebraska.

My absolute favorite one has to be this one of Isaac and Zacarias:

Although these ones are pretty cute, too:

We got some pictures of his mom when she was younger:

(Sooo pretty!)

And even younger:

(That's Her on the Right with Papa Taylor and Aunt Susie on the left)

And some of his dad's side:

(Isaac is on the left with Grandpa Espejo, his dad, and Papa)

Isaac's dad at eighteen months:

(Can't you see a little Gracie in there?)

Here's one of Grandpa and Grandma Espejo the year before they were married:

And another one of them caught in the moment:

Going through all of these old pictures and hearing stories about all of Isaac'a parents and grandparents when they were younger really inspired us to start researching our history a little more.

We didn't start looking back until Thursday when we were in Nebraska, and we had to leave on Saturday. I wish we would've started a little sooner.

We want to get pictures of all of our grandparents as kids and our parent's with their parents so we will have them to show Grace and Baby Girl #2 when they get older. It's so interesting to hear about their lives and how they grew up in comparison to ours. It really makes you feel blessed and so thankful that our parents worked as hard as they did to make it a little easier on us.

When we were younger, Isaac always said he wanted six kids. I always said I saw myself with three girls (weird, right?). After we had Grace and Charley, we settled on the idea of having four. We talked about waiting a few years after Charley was born and then having two more, so the first two would be close and the second two would be close.
Fast forward a few years and along came Perry. We had to work for her, though. We tried for fourteen months and then had a miscarriage before getting pregnant with that little sassy pants. Since we wanted our fourth baby to be close in age to her, we started trying a few months before she turned two. We got pregnant in March only to have another miscarriage. I was pretty numb for a couple of months until it finally hit me one day. We had stopped trying and just had the feeling of "it'll happen if it's meant to".
In August, we started the keto diet, and I read that it can throw your cycle off the first couple of months. I had lo…

Perry spent the day with Grandma Sunshine, Papa Craig, and Paxton on Monday. They played at the park and checked out some horses. Perry had so much fun and now keeps telling me that she is going to Grandma's instead of school.

Grace and Char's school had a fundraiser, and Charley's class did so well that they got to have a popsicle party on Tuesday.

She had soccer practice, and Perry thought the practice was for her. She loves to play soccer with her big sisters.

The girls had superhero day, and Charley wore her Wonder Woman shirt.

We headed up to Pine Valley to go camping on Friday after work. It's easily my favorite place to camp as my dad always took me there as a kid. I have so many fun memories of skipping rocks, fishing in the creek, listening to raccoons ravage through our groceries, and making scones around the campfire. I want my girls to have the same memories, and it's also nice to get them away from their iPa…

We caught a beautiful sunrise on our way to school Monday morning. We're getting to the point where it's going to be dark when we leave the house soon.

Char had soccer practice, and the sky was all sorts of pretty colors.

We made fajitas for dinner, and nothing beats the smell of peppers and onions sizzling.

Perry was a goofball in the car while we waited for sisters to get back from school.

We drove to Springs Preserve on Saturday for a fun day with our field trip group, and Perry insisted on wearing Daddy's glasses the whole way.

We had bunless cheeseburgers and berries for lunch.

Perry napped in bed, while I watched the Sooners play some football.

We had a date night with some friends that night, and the drinks and tapas at Firefly were delish. After dinner, we headed to the Fiesta where we ended up in the bingo room. It was my first time, and I couldn't believe how fast they go. I could barely keep up with my dobber, let al…
